I was given this Nishiki Competition 10 speed for free from my Father-in-law. A neighbor that knows road bikes better than me thinks that it's a rare or custom factory build, and possibly worth much, maybe even as much as $1,000.
I don't know about all that. I plan on hanging onto it for a while, as this frame is HUGE. It fits me well.
It has many cool accessories on it. A nice pump mounted. Generator with front and rear lights, end bar shifters, Dia-Compe parts, and original gumwall tires. My neighbor tells me that he's never seen the word Competition on the frame the way it is on this one. Also, note the unique seat stays that wrap around the top tube and seat tube.
One bad note is that I used water, rags, and a scotchbrite pad to clean the bike up a bit, and I think the scotchbrite pad scratched up the paint a bit. It worked well with the chrome and aluminum parts, but not so well with the paint. I'm hoping some polish will resolve the scratches.
